De Pride Isle Sanatorium

Chapter 2: Entrance

A symphony of groans, heavy breathing, and complains about their legs being tired is heard among us. I have to admit, I'm pretty tired too. Why did they make us wait over twenty minutes for a boat to arrive, and then make us walk a long cliff to the sanatorium? It doesn't make any sense! It doesn't matter though. I'm just happy I finally arrived. I look all around me to observe the exterior of the sanatorium. A large, orange sign can be seen next to the giant entrance doors.

De Pride Isle Sanatorium

The sign says. I never imagined for the doors to be so huge. There's a giant, iron door with a small, rectangular peephole on it. There appears to be a second door after it. The second door is a wooden trimmed door with iron bars. It's almost as if they want to prevent something from escaping. Probably the patients.

I look into the peephole, checking to see if there was anyone inside. There was. A tall woman, who has blonde hair, brown eyes, a white buttoned up dress, and white heels. She was approaching the door, fumbling in her tool belt as if she was looking for something. I stared at her belt as she pulled out a key. Her belt had a lot of holsters on it. One small one, another one that holds some glass jar, one that holds walk looks like a walkie talkie, a weirdly long holster, and another holster that holds what looks like....a megaphone? What does she need a megaphone for?

The nurse approaches the iron-bar door and opens it. She then shoves her key into something and then the giant iron door opens. A loud creaking can be heard as the iron door slowly opens. She smiles at us, and pulls out her walkie talkie. "You guys forgot to open the door for newcomers! Please remember next time!" she says.

She puts the walkie talkie back into her holster. "Hello, dears! Welcome to De Pride Isle Sanatorium! I am Sister Amelia! Please take a-"

She is interrupted when a buzzing sound is heard from the walkie talkie. Then a voice follows after, "Amelia! May you enlighten newcomers? Morning was enlightened earlier if you didn't hear!" It was another nurse. Her accent was blazingly southern. Sister Amelia, the nurse, took out her walkie talkie. "Yes! One moment."

She takes out her megaphone and presses a button. "Welcome, newcomers to De Pride Isle Sanatorium! When you enter, please take a left and put on a fresh uniform! Afterwards, please head upstairs to the cafeteria for some delicious breakfast!" Oh, so that's why they need a megaphone. Sister Amelia puts away her tools and then points us to the uniforms. We all enter the uniform room.

There was four small rooms with four different uniform options. Dark blue, light blue, pink, and violet. We all entered the different rooms. I entered the dark blue uniform room, and began changing. I went out and began to make my way upstairs to the cafeteria.
